Slingbox, what’s taken me so long?

Well, to put it bluntly, Why do I need Slingbox? That’s the question, but I now have the answer.
When Sling Media stormed onto the scene, I looked at the technology and said, “Great, Another idea that I cannot take advantage of…”. That’s because I live in a poor Cell Market where we get the hand me down technologies. I liked the idea of Slingbox, but didn’t think it was worthwhile to stream Sports Center over a GPRS Data connection. Well, nothing has really changed with the slow technology, but I did decide to give it a try. What do you know, Sport Center streams just fine with GPRS, no perfect, but good enough.
Good news is that EDGE and EV-DO are slipping into our market and now I am ready. What I am excited about is going out of town and streaming my Direct TV connection anywhere!
Anyhow, I got the new Sling Box AV a couple weeks ago and I have been happy as can be. The installation couldn’t have been simplier. From the time I opened the package to watching TV with Sling Player on my laptop over WiFi, 10 minutes! The hardest part is waiting for software installation, and how hard is that?
